Indicator and warning lamps

Some lamps in the indicator area 1 are checked
for proper operation when the engine is started
or the ignition is switched on and light up briefly
in the process.

area 1 indicate that certain functions are active:

Required action in case of a
malfunction
All warning lamps and indicator lamps not pre-
viously listed are also accompanied by text
messages at the bottom of the Control Display.
These may contain detailed information on the
cause of a malfunction and the corresponding
action required.
Sometimes warning lamps are also accompa-
nied by additional text messages on the Control
Display which are displayed immediately. Text
messages which do not appear immediately are
stored and can be displayed at a later time. For
details on displaying these messages later,
refer to Check Control on page 71.
